So they would like to see Lionel Messi (34) at his club. On the pitch and on the ball.
The Argentine recently missed two games for PSG due to knee problems. With them he also jetted to his national team in South America – and was substituted there on Friday evening at 1-0 in Uruguay. He stood on the lawn for 15 minutes.
Journalist David Fioux from “L’Équipe” to BamS: “The PSG bosses don’t like the trip at all. You don’t want to take the risk that Messi will be out for longer. “
In France they are annoyed that Messi is even playing. In Argentina, on the other hand, people wonder why he was on the bench at kick-off.
Coach Lionel Scaloni (43): “His entry in the second half helps him to find the rhythm for the game against Brazil.” The Argentinians have to play against the Brazilians who have already qualified for the World Cup on Tuesday evening (local time). A win would almost certainly bring the Messi squad to Qatar as well.
The game is about more than three points: The first leg (0-0) had to be canceled in September because health officials wanted to get three Argentinians off the pitch because of alleged corona violations.
